 == History ==
 During World War I, the United States got its first depth charges from the British Royal Navy in 1917. Finding the sling system used by the Brits impractical, the US Navy tested other methods of launching depth charges. For the entirety of World War I, and most of World War II, the main method was simply launching over the side of the ship from racks, but during the inter-war period, launcher systems were developed including the Mark 6 mortar for the [[Mk.6 depth charge]]. The Mark 6 mortar is also known as a K-gun and was developed as an improved version of an earlier Y-gun design that was developed from a British design from Thornycroft. The K-gun was a marked improvement over the earlier Y-guns thanks to their ability to be mounted anywhere on the ship while the Y-gun was limited to mounting on the centerline. The K-gun is also a simpler design than the Y-guns. The Mark 6 mortar could launch a Mark 6, Mark 9, or Mark 14 depth charge 60 to 150 yards between 3.4 and 5.1 seconds. The Mark 6 used a separate arbor to keep the depth charge in place that broke off when the depth charge was launched.
